Radiated power by blackbody $P = \frac{Q}{t} = A\sigma {T^4}$ ==> $P \propto A{T^4}$$ \propto {r^2}{T^4}$

==> $\frac{{{P_1}}}{{{P_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^2}\,{\left( {\frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}} \right)^4}$ 

==> $\frac{{440}}{{{P_2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{24}}{12}} \right)^2}\,{\left( {\frac{{500}}{{1000}}} \right)^4}$

==>${P_2} = 1760\,W$

    The 'Kangri' is an earthen pot used to stay warm in Kashmir during the winter months. Assume that the 'Kangri' is spherical and of surface area $7 \times 10^{-2} \,m ^{2}$. It contains $300 g$ of a mixture of coal, wood and leaves with calorific value of $30 \,kJ / g$ (and provides heat with $10 \%$ efficiency). The surface temperature of the 'Kangri' is $60^{\circ} C$ and the room temperature is $0^{\circ} C$. Then, a reasonable estimate for the duration $t$ (in h) that the 'Kangri' heat will last is (take the 'Kangri' to be a black body)

    An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?

    ($A$) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

    ($B$) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

    ($C$) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up

    ($D$) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
